Boris Johnson gave interviews to @Peston and @bbclaurak today. What's the difference?

(But please, no gratuitous BBC-bashing. That's not the point)

1/4
@bbclaurak, a "political editor" focused on whether Johnson was challenging Theresa May.

Important politically, but plays down how weak Johnson's actual proposal is

2/4
bbc.com/news/uk-politi…
What @bbclaurak didn't challenge is whether Johnson's proposal will work.

@Peston, also a "political editor", did

The UK government "no deal" paper on geographical indications confirms some intentions stated in the Chequers White Paper, and continues an intriguing additional detail.

1/3
Confirms: protection for UK geographical indications will automatically continue, but owners of EU GIs protected in the UK will have to re-apply for protection.

What wasn't in the Chequers paper is "broadly mirror the current EU regime"

2/3
gov.uk/government/pub… Screenshot of text under the heading
The UK may be signalling it's not aiming for the weaker GI protection preferred by US, Australia, Canada, etc

What would a "deal" change? Automatic rolling over for EU GIs now protected in the UK (one of Brussels' demands)?

What are the implications of this?

(Geographical indications or GIs = names defining BOTH the origin AND the quality/ characteristics/reputation of products. When protected, the products can be made elsewhere, but use of the name is restricted)

politico.eu/article/uk-sec…

1/6
One view is that the UK wants to turn away from the EU’s system for protecting geographical indications in order to make it easier to negotiate trade deals with the US, Australia, New Zealand and others who dislike the EU’s approach



2/6
This view seems to be supported by a former UK trade minister, and may certainly be part of the picture.

Sadly this kind of comment is appearing more frequently, since Leavers claimed the "WTO option" is fine.

If we're concerned that information about the EU is wrong, we shouldn't make the same mistake with the WTO.

"Unelected", "telling us what to do" are both inappropriate

1/4
Is the WTO run by unelected people? (Is the United Nations?)

No and yes. The WTO is run by its member governments. The top decision-making body is the Ministerial Conference: trade or foreign ministers from 164 members. Many if not most are elected.

2/4 Screenshot of the linked page, section on the
Decisions are by consensus, so if elected ministers or their representatives dislike a proposed decision, they can block it.

This is a truly useful Reality Check

I hope the excellent @BBCChrisMorris doesn't mind me commenting on some points. The WTO is always complicated.

bbc.co.uk/news/uk-451128…

1/5
It's really important to understand WTO rules.

All WTO members are governed by WTO rules even if they have free trade deals (FTAs).

1 The FTAs themselves come under WTO rules.

2 Countries may agree to deviate from SOME rules in their FTAs, but FTAs don't cover everything.

2/5 Screenshot of: So what would WTO rules mean in practice? First, the basics. What is the WTO? The WTO is the place where countries negotiate the rules of international trade - 164 countries are members and, if they don't have free trade agreements with each other, they trade under
The schedules cover more than tariffs and quotas.

They also include limits on agricultural subsidies, commitments to open services markets, and for some countries (including the EU and UK) opening government procurement markets (such as naval supply ships)

3/5 Screenshot of next bit: Which are? Every WTO member has a list of tariffs (taxes on imports of goods) and quotas (limits on the number of goods) that they apply to other countries. These are known as their WTO schedules.

Recent articles claim no UK-EU deal in March & trading on WTO terms won't be a problem. The focus has been on non-tariff barriers. The analysis has been criticised heavily.

The articles have also dismissed tariffs because EU average tariffs are low.

researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefi…

1/4 Screenshot of table in paper showing average EU tariffs by product type
The problem with that approach? While *average* EU tariffs are low, many aren't, which means there will be impacts for some UK exporters.

This @commonslibrary briefing paper shows how much EU tariffs vary from sector to sector, still averages

researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefi…

2/4 Repeat screenshot of average EU tariffs by product type
Which brings us to tariff rate quotas. E.g.👇🏽 the proposed EU27 TRQ for lamb, using the method UK and EU have agreed.

1. UK now exports over 80,000 tonnes p.a. to EU
2. No proposed quota for UK
3. UK can only access "OTH"+"EO" quotas = 378 tonnes
